IFTA, or the International Fuel Tax Agreement, is an agreement among the 48 contiguous U.S. states and 10 Canadian provinces designed to simplify the reporting of fuel taxes by interstate motor carriers. Rather than requiring truckers to file individual fuel tax reports in each state or province they operate in, IFTA allows them to file one consolidated quarterly report with their base jurisdiction. This report covers all the fuel purchased and miles traveled in each IFTA jurisdiction.
IFTA reporting involves tracking the miles driven in each state or province and the fuel purchased in each jurisdiction. The goal is to ensure that taxes are paid fairly and accurately based on where the fuel was used, regardless of where it was purchased.

One of the most complex aspects of IFTA is calculating the fuel taxes owed to each jurisdiction. Each IFTA jurisdiction has its own tax rate, and the amount you owe is based on the number of miles driven in each area and the amount of fuel purchased. Ezlogz’s IFTA Reporting Software simplifies this process by handling the calculations for you. After compiling all this data, the software generates a report that shows you exactly what is owed to each jurisdiction. With Ezlogz, you can file your report quickly and avoid any issues with underpayment or overpayment of taxes.
The software automatically pulls mileage data from your fleet’s GPS tracking and pairs it with fuel purchases recorded through receipts or fuel cards. It then calculates the amount of tax owed in each jurisdiction by considering the following
